DESIGNER BREEDS
"Designer" breeds are nothing more than mixed-breed dogs and high-priced
mongrels. If this is what you are after, then do a good deed and adopt
a dog from the humane society.
"Designer" breeds are NOT healthier -- they will inherit the health of
the sire and dam, as well as the grandparents/great grandparents, just
like any purebred dog. Whatever genes are lurking, good and bad, in the
background of one of these mix-breeds, the offspring will inherit.
Therefore, combining two breeds does NOT miraculously and automatically
make them healthier unless producers of these mix-breeds can provide
proven health clearances on the mother and father, in writing, to the
buyers of these dogs.
The reality is that NO responsible,
ethical breeder of any breed will sell their carefully bred puppies so
that they can be bred to a different breed – most good breeders protect
the future of their puppies and their chosen breed by selling puppies on
Restricted from Breeding registration papers. It stands to reason then
that the dogs used for producing “designer” breeds originate from
disreputable breeders or from puppy mills and NOT from quality/healthy
lineage. This would be the only way a producer of “designer” breeds
could acquire a purebred for this purpose. As everyone knows, the
health of puppy mill dogs are suspect, at best.
